and starting with this makes a perfect outcome unrealistic. Augmentation can make your mounds larger with the risk of a double bubble and you'll likely need some kind of mastopexy to even out your areola and make them close to level (assuming they are not level now). You do not have to break it up to 2 separate procedures but you must realize that revisions may be needed so know what your surgoeon's revision policy is before you start.

Thank
you very much for your photographs and question regarding tuberous
breasts. From your pictures it does
appear that you do have the hallmarks of tuberous breasts: a narrow base,
protruding breast tissue with a large nipple areola, and high folds. A breast augmentation would correct this, and
probably some scoring (releasing tissues) of the inferior pole of your
breasts. This will allow them to expand,
round out, and accommodate the size implant that is placed. This is a very common operation; I highly
recommend you see a Board Certified plastic surgeon to discuss the options for
your procedure.

Hi Steph. You have a mild to moderate type of tuberous breasts and should be a fairly good candidate for a breast augmentation.

Other characteristics of tuberous breasts include:

1) Puffy or herniated areola.2) Widely spaced breasts.3) High breast fold.4) Constricted lower pole or deficient tissue in lower part of the breast.5) Minimal breast tissue.6) Narrow base or small "footprint" of the breast.

You do exhibit some of the characteristics of a tuberous
breast shape. If you desire augmentation then implants and a breast lift would
be a great procedure for you. Often times I will perform the lift and
augmentation separately. Often times with tuberous breast shape the final
result is better if one separates the procedures. They can be done together and
that is best determined by a direct physical exam.

Based solely on your photos, yes, you do appear to have certain qualities related to tuberous breasts. Schedule an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to be assessed in person. In general, you would probably need a breast lift with an implant.My best,

Thanks for the question. You do have a moderate form of tuberous or constricted breasts. Releasing the internal, constricted breast tissue, lowering the inferior breast fold and performing a donut mastopexy along with a breast implant will provide you with a terrific result. Best of luck!

Thank you for your photos. You do have several qualities of a tuberous breast. The breast mound is tight and the pushing out the nipple and areola. To improve the shape of the breast, you would require an implant and internal work to release the tight breast tissue as well as a skin tightening procedure. You can expect a very nice outcome with this. Best wishes.
